Ingredients
-
3 bananas
-
60 ml (¼ cup) natural peanut butter
-
45 ml (3 tbsp) lactose-free 0% Greek yogurt
-
5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
-
30 ml (2 tbsp) textured vegetable protein (TVP)
-
7.5 ml (½ tbsp) chia seeds
-
80 ml (⅓ cup) semi-sweet dark chocolate chips (about 70 g or 2.5 oz)
-
7.5 ml (½ tbsp) coconut oil
-
7.5 ml (½ tbsp) unsweetened almond milk or regular milk
-
Unsweetened shredded coconut, for garnish, optional
Preparation
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise to create long, flat slices. Place them on a cutting board or a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, yogurt, and vanilla. Spread this mixture on each banana piece.
- Sprinkle the PVT and chia seeds over the peanut butter mixture.
- In another bowl, melt the chocolate with the coconut oil and milk in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the prepared bananas. Sprinkle with shredded coconut if desired.
- Place the baking sheet with the bananas in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the bananas from the freezer and serve immediately. You can also store them in the freezer by transferring them to an airtight container and taking them out 10 minutes before consuming.
Notes
Keeps for 1-2 months in the freezer in an airtight container.
